Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.
  3. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, salt, black pepper, and parsley in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Pour in beaten eggs.
  5. With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
  6. Form the mixture into a loaf shape on a broiler pan, which will allow the fat to drain. (Line the bottom of the pan with foil to avoid a big mess!).
  7. Lay bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf.
  8. Make the sauce. Add ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and hot sauce in a mixing bowl. Stir together. Pour 1/3 of the mixture over the top of the bacon. Spread with a spoon.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes.
  10. Pour another 1/3 of the sauce over the top.
  11. Bake for another 15 minutes.
  12. Slice and serve with remaining sauce.
  13. Serve with mashed potatoes. Yummy!
